Abstract
Food Alert has announced the acquisition of Common Sense Compliance Ltd by its parent company, The Citation Group, further strengthening its food safety, sustainability and global supply chain solutions.

Food Alert has a mission to simplify compliance and build better businesses by bringing together smart technology, deep sector knowledge and expertise to help the food industry address the challenge of staying ahead of ever-changing and complex compliance regulations.

Having successfully integrated SureFoot Solutions, NT Assure and STS, this is the fourth key acquisition by Food Alert in the last 18 months as it looks to grow and improve its offering to the food sector.

David Bashford, managing director of Food Alert, said: “We’ve seen a greater focus on food safety, sustainability and secure supply chain solutions and I’m proud that with our growing talented team we’re leading the way in providing innovative technology-enabled solutions to give our clients confidence and peace of mind, so they can focus on what they do best.”

Founded in 2009 Common Sense Compliance has supported hospitality businesses such as Compass Group with food hygiene as well as health and safety.

Lee Matthews, managing director of Common Sense Compliance, added: “Over the last 15 years, CSC has gone from strength to strength and am excited by this next step in our journey. Food Alert has a fantastic reputation and has been setting the standards for food safety and compliance for more than 30 years and this move is a positive development for our team and clients as we continue to provide high quality services to the food sector.”
